Paul Wick is a tech enthusiast's tech investor. He can rattle off at the drop of a hat the arcana of chip-manufacturing methods, such as "double patterning" and "three-dimensional transistors," and recite the history of corporate giants gone by, such as PeopleSoft, or Newbridge Networks. Wick, 50, has been the manager of the $3.25 billion Columbia Seligman Communications & Information fund (ticker: SLMCX) for 23 years. He recently spoke with Barron's about the broad trends that change markets and the value individual companies hold in their intellectual property. For his insights on today's undervalued tech stars—and flashes in the pan—read on.
Barron's: Let's get right into handicapping some tech trends. What are we to make of the Wall Street tech term du jour, Big Data? Is it significant, or just hype?
Wick: I think it's a big deal! There is so much information out there. Seeing trends and correlations in a graphical manner is remarkably helpful in making decisions. Big Data is a trend that has a lot further to go.
One company that is doing extremely well, and that we own, Qlik Technologies [QLIK], seems like a logical takeover target for SAP [SAP] or Oracle ORCL -0.5344995140913509% Oracle Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD40.94 -0.22 -0.5344995140913509% /Date(1469566845771-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10828716 AFTER HOURS USD40.94 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 203186 P/E Ratio 19.77777777777778 Market Cap 169691565367.015 Dividend Yield 1.4655593551538837% Rev. per Employee 272404 More quote details and news » [ORCL]. Based on where companies like Ariba and SuccessFactors got bought out [by SAP], there's room for the stock to appreciate. In a buyout, Qlik, now $24, could fetch $33 or $34, or six times enterprise value to 2013 projected revenue.
"Seeing trends and correlations in a graphical manner is remarkably helpful in making decisions. Big Data has a lot further to go." -- Paul Wick Martin Klimek for Barron's

They have a very sticky installed base; they're still doing well. We have historically not liked the valuation on it in the past couple of years, but in the low $50s, it looks intriguing to us.
What other enterprise tech names do you like?
We've looked through a lot of survey data, and enterprise storage demand has remained resilient, which is at odds with the performance of both NetApp ntap 0.9104704097116844% NetApp Inc.

NetApp has refreshed its entire product line over the past year. This is a cash-rich company, with $12 per share in net cash, an enterprise value of $8 billion, and $1 billion in trailing free cash flow. So at $35, this is a cheap stock. It has a pretty substantial maintenance revenue stream, and that maintenance is usually paid upfront. It's not implausible that NetApp could get back to near its 52-week high of $41.
And if you strip out a substantial cash position from EMC, you have the same kind of valuation as NetApp. I mean, it's crazy.
What other tech trends are you bullish on?
We've been pretty bullish about the increased complexity of semiconductors, the overall rise in transistor count, the whole system-on-a-chip phenomenon. Also, the higher bandwidth in mobile phones is leading to much more complex wireless devices with respect to the number of frequency bands that have to be supported.
How do you play all that?
The easiest way to play those trends is [semiconductor-design-software vendor] Synopsys SNPS -0.8238740388136214% Synopsys Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD54.17 -0.45 -0.8238740388136214% /Date(1469566800393-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1065971 AFTER HOURS USD54.19 0.02 0.036920804873546244% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8619 P/E Ratio 36.11333333333334 Market Cap 8292736177.85919 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 224795 More quote details and news » [SNPS], which we view as an inevitable winner as the arms provider to the system-on-a-chip industry.

There are few companies in all of technology that are as predictable and well managed. Going into any given quarter, they have 90% of revenue coming from its backlog. The R&D tax credit helped them crush first-quarter earnings, but their confident tone on bookings implies to me that there's a lot more gas left in the tank. I think the numbers for this year end up at $2.45 a share, and next year at least $2.65. That's meaningfully ahead of consensus. If Synopsys sold for 17 times to 18 times calendar 2014 EPS, it would garner $46, versus a recent $35.
There's a battle starting to unfold between Qualcomm QCOM 1.0209122344804875% Qualcomm Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD61.35 0.62 1.0209122344804875% /Date(1469566800358-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 10883816 AFTER HOURS USD61.99 0.64 1.0431947840260798% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 388824 P/E Ratio 17.96749158002636 Market Cap 89494639281.4722 Dividend Yield 3.4555827220863895% Rev. per Employee 691697 More quote details and news » and many others for the "baseband," the most valuable wireless chip, which Qualcomm currently dominates. How do you see that playing out?
Qualcomm [QCOM] has the best technology in the market in LTE [long-term evolution] modems. They are the only ones shipping an LTE-ready modem this year; the rest of the pack won't have anything to offer until next year. But Samsung Electronics [005930.Korea] and Apple can't rely on a sole supplier. Broadcom [BRCM] is taking that and running with it.
Samsung's unit growth, roughly 20% to 30% year-on-year, can benefit Broadcom. Also, Broadcom's average selling prices can increase with the move to more-expensive 802.11ac chips, and the higher prices on baseband chips for more-expensive phones. If you assume that Samsung doesn't want to be beholden to Qualcomm as a sole supplier, will it be Broadcom, or maybe Intel INTC 1.153070049005477% Intel Corp.

You have upward of 40 different [frequency] bands. Some of this spectrum is hitting up right against WiFi. There's a need to be able to parse out one from the other. What this is doing is requiring the need for a bulk acoustic regulator. Avago is the only one selling them today. TriQuint is on the first or second generation, while Avago is on its seventh generation. We expect the Galaxy S4 will have Avago in it.
Earnings have plateaued at $2.70 per share here, because 40% to 45% of revenue is wireless; the remainder comes from broad-based industrial and networking. Their industrial business was doing $180 million per quarter; now it's down to $125 million per quarter. If we get any kind of bounce back, that part of the business will kick in. It's a $33 stock with a ton of cash. They've consistently raised the dividend, consistently bought back shares.
Avago could get to $43 based on 12 times 2014 earnings of $3.25 a share, plus $4 a share in net cash.
What's your view on the semiconductor capital-equipment makers?
One of the key trends is that migrating chips to leading-edge process nodes is getting even harder with new 3-D transistor architectures. There's an arms race between the major chip manufacturers, Samsung, Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor [TSM], who are all vying for the contract to make Apple's chips for the iPhone and iPad.
So how do you play that arms race?
The lack of spending the last few years is a very positive development for the group, and for Lam Research LRCX 1.059135039717564% Lam Research Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD91.6 0.96 1.059135039717564% /Date(1469566800364-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2346546 AFTER HOURS USD91.99 0.39 0.425764192139738% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 223860 P/E Ratio 20.355555555555554 Market Cap 14465963275.3918 Dividend Yield 1.3100436681222707% Rev. per Employee 797655 More quote details and news » [LRCX].

The past two years were challenging, as their key memory customers cut back spending, and Lam digested its acquisition of Novellus. The stock is $46, and the company has $7 in net cash per share. With EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography facing continuing delays, chip makers are increasingly forced to adopt dual- and quad-patterning techniques for leading-edge chips. Dual-patterning and 3-D transistors are etch- and deposition-intensive.
Lam has finally won Intel as an etch customer after many years of effort. While Intel is at most $100 million in etch revenue for Lam this year, it could grow to $400 million to $500 million a year over time.

Pricing has improved in the test industry. Teradyne is the leader in testing in mixed-signal and analog chips that go into mobile phones.
Teradyne bought a private handset-test company called LitePoint a few years ago, the leader in connectivity-testing, for Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities in phones. They've had the lowest-cost solution by far, and they've taken 70% share of the merchant market, including all of Apple. It has been a home run for Teradyne. We think this year will be another resounding success for LitePoint, driven by the new 802.11ac standard that's rolling out.

They are an industrial lighting supplier. They make light fixtures for commercial and residential applications. The sizzle in the story is that they are selling LED [light-emitting diode] lighting fixtures, and LEDs are growing at an over 100% rate. That business has grown to be about 15% of revenue. That's fine and dandy, except that the core business is not really growing. So you have this company that hypes itself on LEDs, growing maybe 4% per year with a 10% operating margin. And yet it trades at well over 20 times forward earnings. It should be more like 12 or 13 times earnings. The company is supposed to earn roughly $3.45 per share this year, and if you put a 13 multiple on that, you get a $45 stock, but it's at $73.
What do you make of the host of cloud-computing and software-as-a-service companies?
There's an awful lot of euphoria surrounding recently public SaaS firms. It seems likely that companies like Workday wday 0.08746719980007497% Workday Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD80.1 0.07 0.08746719980007497% /Date(1469566920569-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 824842 AFTER HOURS USD80.1 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 15765909759.5215 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 241675 More quote details and news » [WDAY] will have a very hard time justifying their current share prices. My analyst who follows Workday raves about the caliber of the software, but you're paying $10 billion for a company that's supposed to do about $400 million in sales this year and isn't supposed to be break-even until 2016. There are all these true believers in Workday, with this magical belief it's inevitable they'll be remarkably successful.
How about an Internet name?
One that's just jumping out at us as really off the rails, is Zillow [the online real-estate listings firm]. For one, the valuation is really nutty. At $57, Zillow [Z] has a $2 billion market cap, very modest cash flow; I think the trailing Ebitda [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] is $25 million. You get the sense that most of their brokers don't get anywhere near the conversion rate the company talks about. The conversations I've had with retail brokers—they are not particularly enamored of the service; they are more kind of experimenting with it. There's been a long line of Internet real-estate companies that have been obliterated, like ZipRealty, and Move.com—both of those have come and gone. Five years from now, this is a single-digit stock.
Paul, thank you.

Hey, I'm Femke!
You can call me Femchan!
I'm an animator & multimedia designer from Belgium.
I also run a small Etsy shop where I sell handmade- and upcycled streetwear plus vintage goods.
Currently living in Antwerp, I'm originally from a coastal town by the North Sea, but have lived, studied and worked all over our small country.
I speak Dutch, English, French and have basic comprehension of several other languages including Turkish (memnun oldum)!
As a traveller I usually just make a list of things I'd like to see and do, else-wise go wherever my feet might take me, no fuss. I like road-trips (with Bart: https://www.airbnb.be/users/show/5331489), hiking, discovering beautiful scenery, taking lots of photos with my old Canon cam, perusing vintage stores and trying tasty (veggie) food.
As a guest I'm pretty low-maintenance and will try my utmost to respect your privacy and rules. I do like to make new friends however, don't be afraid to chat :)

Accordingly, our management system has included various environmental and supply chain social requirements for our suppliers. In addition, in 1998, IBM explicitly encouraged its suppliers to align their own environmental management systems with International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001 and to pursue registration under this international standard. In 2004, IBM published its Supplier Conduct Principles to articulate the company's overall supply chain social responsibility requirements and, in 2013, replaced these principles with Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct. These early initiatives and actions--taken well before the present day focus on social and environmental affairs--have served IBM and its suppliers well, underscoring how effective environmental management makes good business sense. In recognition of the continually growing imperative for environmental and corporate responsibility across supply chains, I am writing to inform you about some IBM requirements that were first communicated to our suppliers in February 2010 and are now an important part of business.
Specifically, IBM requires all of its suppliers to:
- define, deploy, and sustain a corporate responsibility and environmental management system;
- measure performance and establish voluntary environmental numeric goals;
- publicly disclose results associated with these voluntary environmental goals and other environmental aspects of the management system;
- cascade this set of requirements to the supplier's suppliers who perform work that is material to the products, parts and/or services being supplied to IBM.
Many of you have already been doing this for several years, and you have recognized--like IBM--that environmental leadership fosters business efficiency and effectiveness. You have also accepted that environmental responsibility and accountability resides at home, in your own business operations. For others, these requirements may represent a new way of doing business. What may be new is taking the next steps to establish a formal management system, measure performance, set goals, and disclose results and cascading IBM's requirements to your own suppliers.
There are certain basic elements that are necessary to put these requirements into action. We have stated them in the attachment below. IBM's own practices are built upon them, yet they are certainly not exclusive or limited in applicability to any one company or any particular indu

Missouri Tries to Block Levee Blast
The state of Missouri asked a federal judge Thursday to block the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from blowing a 2,000-foot hole in a levee that would flood rich Missouri farmlands in a bid to ease near-record flood levels at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, president of the Mississippi River Commission, expects to decide no sooner than this weekend whether to blow up the levee just downstream from Cairo, Ill. That would divert some floodwater into a channel 35 miles long and as much as 12 miles wide known as the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway.
Risk Levels
See the latest data from flood gauges throughout the Midwest and South.
The floodway was constructed in the late 1920s but has been used only once, in the record flood of 1937. The land inside is privately owned, but the government has easements to run water over it.
Missouri officials argued the owners of some 130,000 acres of farmland and some 75 homes with 200 residents would face serious hardship if the plan went through. "They will be losing their crops. They will be losing their homes. And they will be losing the value of their land," said Jack McManus, chief counsel for the Missouri attorney general's office.
Storm Damages
Storms Wreak Havoc
Ed Passarelli, an attorney for the federal government, said the area could flood even if the levee isn't blown. He added that the floodway was designed for this purpose, and an appeals court two decades ago said in a similar case that the decision to explode a levee was up to the government.
Rising floodwaters are nearing the 1937 record of 59.5 feet on the Ohio River at Cairo. The reading Thursday evening was 58.87 feet, with an expected crest of 60.3 feet lasting several days beginning between Sunday and Tuesday. Opening the floodway would divert about a quarter of the flow of the Lower Mississippi River, reducing river levels by three to four feet upstream on both the Ohio and Upper Mississippi rivers, a Corps spokesman said.
Cairo, a city of about 3,000, is surrounded by aging levees. In a court filing, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said a breach in a levee protecting the city would inundate it with 18 to 20 feet of water.
Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr., in Cape Girardeau, said he hoped to rule on the matter quickly.

The last few months, alongside moving and a kitchen renovation and getting ready for The Einkorn Cookbook's launch, I've been jetting back and forth to the Chicago suburbs. One of our family members has been in and out of the hospital, so there's been a lot of talking to doctors, feeling angry/depressed/confrontational about the lack of real food in hospital cafeterias, sitting in rooms waiting, listening (a lot of listening) and laughing at the funny ways my parents introduce us to nurses, doctors and friends. ("They drink kombucha. Do you like kombucha?") Sitting in hospitals tends to be the kind of thing to make you feel powerless, like there's nothing your hands can do, but I've found some of the best things my hands do are release their grip and trust. That, and make food. When everything else is in crisis, people still need food to eat. And, maybe this is our finally working kitchen talking, but being able to cook and prepare your own food is such a privilege. One of the last … [Read more...]
The Vibrant Table's Zucchini Spaghetti with Peaches and Pumpkin Seed Pesto
On Tuesdays I work at coffee shops with a couple girlfriends who also call their homes their workplaces. It's a good chance to knock social activity and work hours out together (she says, like a true introvert) and one that gives all of us an excuse to spend $5 at a local business as well as put on normal clothes before noon (okay, that last part might just be me). This past week, we also met up on Thursday, and when we did it was at the new coffee shop in my neighborhood, which is also the first coffee shop in my neighborhood, a news-worthy event for South Nashville if ever there were one. Since it opened 1.5 weeks ago, I have already discussed this hip new place and its white string lights and ample seating area with our neighbors down the street at lunch on Memorial Day, my friend Jenna at book club (who, notably, found out about it in the community newsletter I've apparently known nothing about) and, also, at a workshop that my friend and former neighbor Ashley led in Hermitage, … [Read more...]
Brad's Asparagus
I've been craving beauty since the day I was born. There are weeks, like this one, where the hunger is deeper and greater than others, where the longing is more acute and harder to ignore, but it's always been there. I want sunsets and thriving gardens and people who are open-handed with what they own. I long for redemptive stories, I want to listen to truth-telling music, I read words like these, over and over, wondering how to live them. If we all feel this longing, like I think we all do, then it's probably true we feel it in different forms: I, in the ways above, or in making a meal, seeing vegetables turned to withered stalks of dinner, covered in blistered almonds and bits of garlic---order out of chaos. You, in ways peculiar to you. Does the look of a fresh vegetable, like a simple asparagus stalk, ever take your breath away? It does mine. Sometimes it hits that part of my heart that is ever longing, ever thirsting for something that I know to want and yet don't know why. And … [Read more...]

Muskego was caught in a difficult situation in football this fall.
The Warriors had what head coach Ken Krause said was the youngest team in the Classic 8 Conference in a season that saw the conference in top form.
The Classic 8 put four teams in Level 3 of the WIAA state playoffs and still has three teams alive for Level 4 this weekend in Arrowhead, Mukwonago and Waukesha West.
The only one to drop out at Level 3 was Catholic Memorial, which lost a three-point game to unbeaten Monona Grove.
"In my 17 years of coaching, this is the toughest conference I have ever been in," Krause said. "We also played Oconomowoc, which was 11-0 before losing to Mukwonago (in Level 3)."
Warriors went 3-6
Largely because of that brutal schedule, Muskego struggled for victories, finishing 2-5 in the Classic 8 and 3-6 overall.
Krause, though, was not overly disappointed.
"I had a wonderful time with the kids," he said. "They did everything we asked them to do. I was proud because they never quit; they kept a positive attitude.
"After we lost the eighth game (and were eliminated from playoff contention), we could have folded our tents, but we practiced hard the next week and led Mukwonago at the half 14-13 in our final game."
Krause said he was particularly pleased with the leadership shown by his seniors, adding, "They taught the sophomores and juniors not to quit."
Senior fullback Peter Roy led the way on offense, racking up 1,244 yards and 17 touchdowns, averaging 138.2 yards per game and fumbling only once in 209 carries. He earned first-team all-conference honors for the second straight season.
Senior Jack Bloomer collected 472 yards and scored five touchdowns and senior Frank Schroyer added 304 yards and four scores.
Junior Jeff Schweitzer played quarterback, passing for 634 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
Roy was named the team's most valuable player on offense and overall, while senior safety Jonathan Schulte and junior tackle Alex Hauke shared most valuable honors on defense and senior Jacob Arndt was named most valuable on special teams.
Junior lineman Baili Leszczynski was the most improved on offense and sophomore linebacker Austin Lambrecht the most improved on defense.
Bloomer and Schroyer shared the Heart of the Team Award and senior end Ryan Evans, senior offensive tackle Bryce Butenhof and senior lineman Mitchell Hardy all won the Warrior Award.
Roy, Butenhof, Evans and Schulte were team captains this season.
Future looks bright
Muskego will return 15 starters next season and had a junior varsity team that finished 8-1.
"I am excited about the future," Krause said. "Despite our record, I feel we took another step forward this season."

From the first few seconds of the game booting up you can tell it literally is an epic game. Its linear in terms of progression points in story mode yet somehow feels totally open. Gears 1 felt bulky and in close to your physical viewpoint whereas Gears 2 has cinematic landscapes and dozens of small details. Sick new characters plus rad new weapons. Gets an A from me because of the suck ass player controls.

Great weather and fun at Rio Tinto. Rugby is a terrific sport and lots of tough,
non-stop fun. BYU has some excellent, fast and tough players. My wife tolerates
football (I'm being generous) but she really liked the action of rugby. And
the hitting and action is so much better than soccer.
So congrats to BYU for playing so well. Tough, fast, smart and exciting team.!

BALTIMORE (AP) – A fraternity headquartered in Baltimore has offered to cover the funeral costs for a teenager fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Last week Alpha Phi Alpha sent a letter to the Austin A. Layne Jr. Mortuary in St. Louis, which is handling arrangements for 18-year-old Michael Brown, offering to pay the funeral bill.
Brown was shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. Brown's death has prompted massive protests in Ferguson and across the country.
In the letter, Alpha Phi Alpha General Counsel Wayne Harvey writes that the fraternity, whose late members include Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall, has a history of fighting for social justice and racial equality.
A spokesman said Friday that the fraternity has not yet received a response.

Reviews for Fire Wagon Hockey Inc
The time I have spent with Fire Wagon Hockey has been extremely rewarding. Not only have I met some great families and made great lifelong friendships, I get very gratifying experiences with hundreds of young girls and boys. While having fun helping these great young lives developed I also get to teach them about servantship. This organization takes time out several times each year to raise money and food for several area food pantries. We hold an annual family skate night where we invite the NISRA (Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association) families. This has proven to be very rewarding to everyone who participates. Most of the proceeds from our annual golf outing are donated to NISRA. Teaching strong values to young people then watching them put those values into action is a phenomenal experience.

Accurate image expansion is important in many areas of image analysis. Common methods of expansion, such as linear and spline techniques, tend to smooth the image data at edge regions. This paper introduces a method for nonlinear image expansion which preserves the discontinuities of the original image, producing an expanded image with improved definition. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation techniques that are proposed for noise-free and noisy images result in the optimization of convex functionals. The expanded images produced from these methods will be shown to be aesthetically and quantitatively superior to images expanded by the standard methods of replication, linear interpolation, and cubic B-spline expansion

Battelle has a large animal testing facility and would be perfect for this use.
He can't spell DD. LOL.
Last Feb. we were rejected for FDA approval and what has the company done since then? They produce nothing but more shares to dump on the market. How are they any closer now than they were in Feb. to getting FDA approval? I'm told they are still trying to get the money needed to complete testing before they can even start to reapply. I'm holding because its not worth selling but come on, After 8 months there is nothing different or any accomplishments they have achieved.
If it had any value it would not be in the hands of AMIC. This is a scam.
Hard to see how this is not a scam going under.
Its a scam for morons.
Katzaturd has a better chance of becoming Pope.
Katzaturm is a con artist. Look at his track record. One failure after another. He makes money off of others then folds.
Nothing but a phone drop for this scam.
But it does look like a scam. I wish it were different but it is what it is. You can post until your fingers fall off but it doesn't change the track record of this company. Its 2 cents people. Valuable drugs/ medical products waiting on FDA approval are much. much higher. Nobody wants this POS for a good reason. ITS A BUST.
First post from a pumping moron that has any chance of being true. Its a 1 cent stock for a reason morons.
Its done ZERO volume so far today. Does it look like news is coming? Even a pumping moron like you can't be this stupid, can you?
Why does he bother with his moronic posts? He looks like a fool.
Not a word from this #$%$ in over 3 months. Time to crawl out from under your rock turdboy and face shareholders like a man and not like the weasel you are.
Shut up stupid. You are an ignorant moron.
Form states any moron stupid enough to own this junk is taking it up his Butt - hole ,
Jim Katzaturd, chief swindler.
Only a moron like stupid in seattle would call that a better 10Q. Stan is right this has one last chance to survive and thats radiogel and so far the market is not impressed with it.
The dilution is already here. I would expect more hedge fund sales coming soon. Decreasing revenue from isotopes is a very bad sign.
Revenue down, salary for CEO way up. It looks like a scam folks.
Take the moron stupidinseattle with you.

Local Hero 1983 | Movie Watchlist
Charming, whimsical, and practically perfect, LOCAL HERO reminds us of the great pleasures that British comedy used to routinely provide. This is the greatest Ealing comedy never made: a quirky character comedy with a skillful use of location that is sweetly reminiscent of WHISKEY
GALORE!. A discerning eye may even spot a wee bit of the magical Powell-Pressburger ethos as expressed in I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. However the offbeat sensibility on display here is ultimately distinctively that of Scottish filmmaker Bill Forsyth (GREGORY'S GIRL, THAT SINKING FEELING, COMFORT AND
Burt Lancaster gets star billing as the loony head of a huge oil company in Texas, a tycoon so ambivalent about his success that he has a psychiatrist (Norman Chancer) come in regularly and insult him. Bored with business success, astronomy has become his great passion. The true protagonist of the
film is Mac (Peter Riegert), an ambitious young executive of the oil company, who is dispatched to Scotland to buy an entire town so the company can drill for North Sea oil. An important side mission is to keep watching the sky for anything interesting. The utterly charming remote little coastal
town is largely controlled by Urquhart (Dennis Lawson), a sharp but good-natured lawyer-innkeeper. Victor (Christopher Rozycki), a Soviet trawler captain, makes regular stops at the village, where Urquhart conducts sundry investments for him in real estate and securities. The obvious plot turn
would be to show the Americans as nasty and rapacious, but it turns out that the Scots would be only too happy to depart the area if the price were right. Throughout the film, nothing is quite what it seems to Mac, and the denouement is wonderfully unexpected.
The Scottish landscape is gorgeous, soothing, and handsomely shot. The casting, down to the smallest role, is just right. Lancaster gives one of his best performances in a parody of the role he's played straight so many times before--the blustering industrial mogul. Scottish writer-director Bill
Forsyth has outdone himself with this funny, touching, and original film. Don't miss this magical treat. (Incidentally this film served as a MAJOR source of inspiration for the hit CBS television series, "Northern Exposure.")

Well-kept hotel close to the strip.Posted Jul 26, 2016
Very affordable hotel with a kitchenette close to the Las Vegas Strip. Staff were friendly and accommodating and the hotel is very clean. The only drawback was the air conditioner had to work overtime in the 44 degree heat we were experiencing on our trip and was a bit noisy at night when we were trying to sleep.

Posted Jul 12, 2016
the hotel is OK, but I booked it thru Expedia as one of those ??? special deals where you just see a silhouette of the building on a map with no name. I believe they misled me about exactly where the hotel was, by placing the silhouette on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo. NOPE, not even close, so I was already upset when I finally got to see where I just booked this non-refundable reservation. Like I said, the place isn't bad, just not what I expected, so my issues are not with the hotel, but rather with Expedia and with myself for thinking I was going to get a good deal--haahaa.

This Candlewood is in great shape. The rooms are well taken care of and the new hallway carpet is a nice touch. I have stayed here before and it is missing some of the old front desk staff, but Tiffani will get the new crew going well soon I'm sure. That Sales Team is AWESOME by the way

Great hotel for the price.Posted Mar 2, 2016
Pros: The kitchen, and free laundry were awesome. Also loved that they had no resort fees!!
Cons: Do not give false advertisement! I paid for a King size bed and the rooms only have what I believe to be a Queen. Also they should offer rollaway beds
Location: Location was good. Close enough to the strip, only about a mile away and close to grocery stores and food places.
Check in and out was a breeze, room and overall hotel were clean. Close enough to the strip but still far enough from the chaos. The only two things I didn't care for was the bed and the pool. Both me and my husband always ended up in the middle of the bed for some reason it was sunken in the middle and the hotel advertises a heated pool but that was a lie. They claim it was broken. Not really a great hotel for families as they only offer one queen size bed and no rollaway beds. So if you have kids they have to sleep on the floor. I paid for a King size bed but I didn't get it....overall though great stay!
Comment from Hotel Management
Mar 8, 2016 by Tiffani, Hotel Management
Dear Guest, Thank You for comments and feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I apologize the Expedia website claims we have King size beds. We are looking into this to ensure that it correctly states we only have queen size beds. We are getting all new queen size beds this year which should resolve all the "sunken" issues. We do also offer One Bedroom Suites which have a pull out sofa couch which is often a better option for a family with children. Overall, I am glad you had a nice stay and we hope to see you again! Take Care.
